Summary | 0008854: Kali VMWare multi-monitor resizing bug | ||||
Description | Using the latest and upgraded Kali VMWare download with VMWare Workstation 17.5.2 , the desktop window does not resize properly when transitioning from full screen with two monitors. Reproduction steps:
I believe i have narrowed this down to the package linux- packages (sudo apt install --only-upgrade linux) with a fresh kali vmware image. | ||||
Really a Kali issue or not just one of VMware? |
|
Ive reproduced it across several different computers and different vmware hw compatibilities. When updating the packages, specifically the linux* packages, it breaks the usability of the VM in a multi monitor setup. |
|
Yes, could be a lack of support from VMware for the newer Kernels (VMware is always "behind) How did you have determined that this is a Kali issue? |
|
It appears to be VMWare or the kernal, not kali apparently. I was able to reproduce with base debian and a linux mint image. |
